and will withstand an operation of upto
600 per hour.
General description
VAA relays are voltage operated relays.
The relays are attracted armature units of
compact design with positive action and
a high degree of mechanical stability. The
relays can be supplied with self, or hand
reset contacts and changeover contacts.
See table 1
Standard contacts are of silver/copper
alloy. They are shaped and positioned
to ensure a reliable and low resistance
normally open or normally closed contact.
Standard VAA 11/21 relays are suitable
for ac/dc supply and standard VAA 13/23
relays are suitable for dc supply only.
Type VAA
Auxiliary Relays
Features
• Simple and robust construction
• Positive action and high mechanical
stability
• Heavy duty contact available, where
required
• Slugged relays with delay on operation
/ reset available in ac/dc version.
Application
Control, alarm, indication and other
auxiliary duties in ac or dc systems.
The type VAA Plug-in-relays is specially
designed for industrial control duties
requiring
respetitive
switching
operations. It is capable of providing over
5 million operations without servicing
or drop-off can be supplied on specific
request. Similarly relays with magnetic
blow out contacts can also be supplied on
specific request.
The standard VAA relays provide only instantaneous self or hand reset contacts.
To ensure a longer operating life, the tips
of the silver contacts have a domed profile, the optimum design for the repetitive
operation duties of industrial applications.
Although the standard designs are suitable for dc and full-wave rectified ac
systems only, alternative versions for ac
operation are available.
VAA21/22/23 are double pole versions of
VAA 11/12/13 respectively.
VAA 31/33 are Triple pole versions of VAA
11/12/13 respectively.
When it is necessary to break heavy or
highly inductive dc loads, heavy duty
magnetic blow out type contacts can
be provided. These contacts use the
magnetic field of a small permanent
magnet to force the arc onto the arcing
horns away from the contact tips. The
breaking capacity of the heavy duty
contact is shown by the curves in Figure
1.
